Harsh ingredients

Pros:

Smells great
Probably okay for small T-Zone outbreaks

Cons:

Drying and irritating
Causes inflammation on sensitive skin
Too many ingredients

At first this product SEEMS great but it contains ingredients that are extremely harsh and drying. These include citrus oils, too much aloe, etc. If your skin is even slightly sensitive, do not use this product. And do NOT use this product if most of your acne is on your cheeks. It's too drying. I had the same experience with the "cleansing milk" version. If you have sensitive skin, or your acne is mostly on your cheeks, it can turn your mild/moderate breakout into severe inflammation. It's much healthier (and less risky) to keep it simple with skin care. Just one glance at this product's huge ingredient list should tell you something. You're better off avoiding this and other gel/milk cleansers by Avalon. Ps. I found out the company changed the ingredients in this product about a year ago. Apparently it used to be pretty good.

Pros:

Nice smell.

Cons:

Really made my face sting and my acne worse.

In principle this sounds like it would work. I was trying to move away from using harsh cleansers (Like Clean and Clear), but my face really didn't react well.
